AI can help with homework, but it should not become your homework writer.
If you do not understand a math problem, you can ask, "Can you show me one similar example?" If your English sentence is unclear, you can ask, "Which part is confusing?"
But copying an answer without thinking is different. It may finish the homework, but it does not build your skill.
Use AI like a coach. A coach can give advice, but you still have to take the shot.
Check your understanding
After reading, state the main idea in one sentence and find a line that supports it.
Chinese translation
AI 可以帮助你做作业，但不该替你写作业。
如果一道数学题没看懂，可以问：‘能给我看一个类似的例题吗？’如果英语句子表达不清楚，可以问：‘哪一部分让人读不明白？’
但不经思考就照抄答案，是另一回事。作业或许做完了，能力却不会因此提高。
把 AI 当作教练吧。教练可以给建议，但最后那一球仍要由你自己投。

Background notes (Chinese)
‘给我一个类似的例题’帮助理解做法，‘直接给我答案’则容易跳过学习过程。课文把 AI 比作教练，强调学生仍要亲自思考和完成作业。
